SNM_CPP Trial Summary

This trial is testing a safe, minimally invasive implant procedure to treat chronic pelvic pain in women, which has been approved by the FDA.

Who is the study for?
Women aged 22-70 with chronic pelvic pain who've tried at least one treatment without success can join. They mustn't change their pain meds for 4 weeks before the trial, use effective birth control, and commit to the study's duration. Exclusions include pelvic cancer history, severe medical conditions that could affect results, certain concurrent pain treatments, psychiatric disorders as judged by the physician (except stable depression or anxiety), frequent UTIs, uncontrolled diabetes with nerve issues, prior SNM device or trial participation, allergies to specific materials in the device components (titanium etc.), spinal cord stimulators/drug pumps implanted regardless of status (on/off), breastfeeding or pregnant women not using contraception properly.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing sacral neuromodulation—a minimally invasive procedure where a small device is implanted—to see if it helps women suffering from chronic pelvic pain. The effectiveness will be measured throughout the study period after a single implantation procedure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Sacral neuromodulation may cause discomfort at the implant site, lead migration which might require repositioning of leads during follow-up visits; infection risk around the implant area; potential technical problems with the device itself; and possible interference with bodily functions controlled by sacral nerves.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: SNM for the treatment of CPPExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will be enrolled based on study eligibility criteria. Eligible patients will be scheduled for a Interstim X implant in the operating room. The procedure is completed under anesthesia, either conscious sedation with intubation or breathing assistance. Under fluoroscopic guidance a standard lead will be introduced. Each electrode on the lead will be tested by confirming motor response on at least 3 of 4 leads. Next the implantable pulse generator will be placed in a subcutaneous pocket and secured. Impedance will be tested, 4 standard programs will be set, and then the device will be shut off. The device settings will be adjusted per protocol and the device will be turned on and off during visits 2-7.
